A review by emily_gaynier
Her Halloween Treat by Tiffany Reisz

3.0

Okay so this book in my opinion was odd. I think it would've been better as a romcom with no spicy scenes because the spice wasn't very good. I actually really like the plot and most of the character, but every conversation sounded exactly the same. I almost wish I had read this a few months back because I might've liked it more then.

I'm putting most of my thoughts behind a spoiler warning because my mom follows me on this site along with other family.

Spoiler

The sex scenes read like the author wanted to be kinky but also really laid back about everything. In the first spicy scene, the Hero basically is like it's not gonna suck itself and is really "commanding". I don't mind crudeness in my romance books, but it wasn't sexy. Also him telling Joey what to do in the bedroom wasn't any more intense then some average or basic spice scenes. I mean, I do about that level of commanding in the bedroom!

Also the banter and flirting in this book gave everyone the same tone. It cooled down the sex scenes and made it sound like the gay men getting married were flirting with everyone and everyone was flirting back. I get that three of the characters have know each other since high school or before, but even if people talk similarly, the reader should be able to tell who is talking in any given scene.

I really did enjoy the plot. I kind of wish this had focused more on a woman getting away after ending her relationship and finding love during her long vacation. Something a lot more slow burn
